The problem it solves

Adding a list of customers to Shopify one at a time is tedious, especially when you're migrating from another platform or setting up test accounts. Manual entry also invites typos in names, emails, and phone numbers.

Who it fits

E-commerce businesses migrating customer data into Shopify or setting up test accounts.

How it works

  1. You run the system with a Google Sheet of customer details ready
  2. It reads each row, including name, email, and phone number
  3. It creates a matching customer record in Shopify for every row
What you get

Customer records moved into Shopify correctly

You get your customer list imported into Shopify as ready-to-use records, matched exactly to your spreadsheet details.

What you get

New customer records created in Shopify, matching the rows in your spreadsheet.

What you need

A Google Sheets account and a Shopify store with API access.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
